Royal Oak 15400- Which color?

A Little Late to the 5131R Party!
I have waited for this one for it seems like a long time. I owe Danny Govberg and George Mayer my sincere thanks for the quality of my collection!! We have been together for many years and I hope for many more. Last fall the Patek Philippe trip was the highlight of my watch collecting journey!! When Govberg does a trip, they do it right. It's now time to set this one free!
